Review of Beyond the Lights (2014) by Byron B — 18 Dec 2015
In the US this was released a few months after Belle also starring up-and-coming young actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Her indie cred seemed strong, so my wife and I caught this in mid-2015 on Netflix. Gina Prince-Bythewood writes and directs for a talented ensemble.
The story is a pretty standard one about the pressures of fame and I was disappointed that it falls into an extremely traditional romance plot.
